Because heterozygous means that the parents contain both dominant and recessive genes the offspring will be 75% tall and 25% short. If you were to draw the punnett squares you would see that there are 3 possible children one with only dominant tall traits two with both dominant and recessive traits and one with only recessive traits.

Rr x Rr will yield you 1/4 homozygous dominant phenotype (RR), 1/2 heterozygous dominant phenotype (Rr) and 1/4 homozygous recessive phenotype (rr). As for the wording, the homozygous dominant will show the dominant trait, the heterozygotes will follow suit and the homozygous recessive will exhibit only the recessive trait.
well, that would be Tt and Tt.... so... 1:2:1 is the ratio of the genotype. 3:1 is the ratio of the phenotype. do you go to MHS?
1:2:1, one would be TT , two would be Tt and one would be tt .
50% do a punnett square. Tt tt

That the parents were both heterozygous!
A heterozygote. An organism with the same alleles at a locus is called a "homozygot".
I don't know and don't care
The resulting offspring will have 50% chance of having straight toes and being heterozygous, and 50% chance of having curled toes and being recessive.
that the parents were true-breeding for contrasting traits. NOT TRUE. If so, all the offspring would be identical genotypes. Think of a classic cross that gives you a 3:1 ratio and write it out. It would suggest that the parents were both heterozygous for a single trait.

The phenotypic ration in F1 generation will be 3 : 1. Three individuals showing dominant trait and one individual with recessive trait. However, the genotypic ratio will be 1:2:1.That is one homozygous dominant, two heterozygous dominant and one homozygous recessive individuals.

If red eyes are dominant, then 75% will have red eyes and 25% will have white eyes. The genetic breakdown is: 25% will be RR (homozygous red eyes), 50% will be Rr (heterozygous red eyes) and 25% will be rr (homozygous white eyes).
Genotype is a same gene type that is carried by a parent to offspring. Phenotype is appearance, lets say a parent has big ears and the child inherit the big ears.
variation is the differences in genotypic traits between individuals in a populationnatural selection is any naturally occurring process resulting in differential success of reproduction of individuals depending on the genotypic traits they have expressed as phenotypic traits, the usual means by which this happens is the death of specific individuals prior to being able to reproduce but other events can alter the rate of success of reproduction without the individuals dying (e.g. they reproduce OK themselves but fail to bring those offspring to reproductive age successfully).
Make a Punnet Square:White HETEROZYGOUS---WwRed HOMOZYGOUS--ww (this one is recessive because the white characteristic dominated in the heterozygous type)So:W ww Ww www Ww wwThese four are the potential types of the offspring, they will either be HETEROZYGOUS WHITE or HOMOZYGOUS RED, no homozygous white
Heterozygous - White gene carrier Homozygous - No white gene White tigers are not albinos and do not constitute a separate subspecies of their own and can breed with orange ones, although all of the resulting offspring will be heterozygous for the recessive white gene, and their fur will be orange. The only exception would be if the orange parent was itself already a heterozygous tiger, which would give each cub a 50% chance of being either double-recessive white or heterozygous orange. If two heterozygous tigers, or heterozygotes, breed on average 25% of their offspring will be white, 50% will be heterozygous orange (white gene carriers) and 25% will be homozygous orange, with no white genes. In the 1970s a pair of heterozygous orange tigers named Sashi and Ravi produced 13 cubs in Alipore Zoo, of which 3 were white. If two white tigers breed, 100% of their cubs will be homozygous white tigers. A tiger which is homozygous for the white gene may also be heterozygous or homozygous for many different genes. The question of whether a tiger is heterozygous (a heterozygote) or homozygous (a homozygote) depends on the context of which gene is being discussed. Inbreeding promotes homozygosity and has been used as a strategy to produce white tigers. (From Wikipedia)
